Kirei Board
For new designer wood materials to work with on your next project, keep an eco-friendly eye open for products that don’t contain toxins. It’s even better to opt for materials that are made with recycled content or come from a rapidly renewable resource to help cut back on deforestation. Products like Kirei board exhibit all these green qualities. The result is a fresh, luxurious wood surface to be proud of.
The natural beauty and Zen aesthetic of Kirei board come from reclaimed sorghum straw. Sorghum, part of the sugar cane subfamily, is an Old World grass with corn-like leaves and tall, thick stalks. Reclaimed stalks are tightly woven and heat-pressed to make the Kirei decorative millwork that provides designers, architects and creative homeowners with a unique and innovative alternative to wood.
Kirei board represents layers of eco-tiers: Sorghum stalks are usually burned after harvest, creating air pollution. Using the stalks to make Kirei board eliminates this problem. And what was once waste to farmers is now a new revenue stream.
The rich textures and gorgeous earthy coloring makes this material ideal for decorative wall coverings, furniture, vanities, cabinetry and tables. The material is strong yet light and flexible, which makes it easy to work with. It comes in thicknesses of 6mm, 10mm, 20mm and 30mm to give you more decorative options. Plus, Kirei board can help your project gain credit toward LEED Certification.
